Abstract

In this study, the flexural strength, absorption rate, methylene blue photo catalyst decomposition performance and anti-fouling performance were evaluated according to the photo catalyst mixing rate and block surface wash status by applying photo catalyst to the surface layer of concrete sidewalk block. The results showed that the flexural strength of the block that mixed photo catalyst only in the surface layer of the concrete block was 5.32MPa of the general block (SNW) of 5% photo catalyst, compared to 5.46MPa of the non-mixed concrete block of the reference concrete block. Surface washing block (SW) 5.26MPa, 10% photo catalyst general block (SNW) 5.26MPa, and 5.15MPa surface washing block (SW). It has been shown that the presence of surface washing and the mixing rate of photo catalyst in the concrete block have no effect on the flexural strength. Moreover, the photoreaction performance of concrete sidewalk blocks showed that the methylene blue removal rate of specimens with 5% TiO2 was 34.2%, the methylene blue removal rate of specimens with 10% TiO2 was 37.1%, and the removal rate of the methylene blue of specimens with 5% TiO2 was about 37.9% and 10% mixed specimens with TiO2 was about 37.6%.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 보도블록의 표층에 광촉매를 적용하여 광촉매 혼입률 및 블록 표면워싱 유무 등에 따른 휨강도, 흡수율, 메틸렌블루 광촉매 분해 성능 및 방오성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 콘크리트 블록 표면층에만 광촉매를 혼입한 블록의 휨강도는 광촉매 무혼입인 기준콘크리트 블록의 휨강도 5.46MPa과 비교하여 광촉매 5% 혼입 일반블록(SNW) 5.32MPa로 나타났으며, 표면워싱블록(SW) 5.26MPa, 광촉매 10%혼입 일반블록(SNW) 5.26MPa, 표면워싱블록(SW) 5.15MPa로 나타나 콘크리트 블록의 표면 워싱 유무 및 광촉매 혼입율이 휨강도에 미치는 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 콘크리트 보도블록의 광촉매 분해성능은 이산화티타늄이 5% 혼합된 시편의 메틸렌블루 제거율은 34.2%, 이산화티타늄이 10% 혼합된 시편의 메틸렌블루 제거율은 37.1%, 세척을 실시한 경우 이산화티타늄이 5% 혼합된 시편의 경우 제거율은 약 37.9%, 10% 혼합된 시편의 메틸렌블루 제거율은 약 37.6%로 나타났다.
